Nigeria - President Muhammadu Buhari has vowed to end corruption in all ramifications in Nigeria.Buhari made the promise at the launch of an anti-corruption campaign, tagged “The Value Project” in Abuja on Thursday, February 16.
The president who was represented by the minister of state for education, Professor Anthony Anwukah, said looting of public funds, bribery of public officials and other vices associated with corrupt practices constitute more than half the real problems of the nation, Tribune reports.
The event which was organised by the federal ministry of education in collaboration with a non-governmental organisation (NGO), Youth Health and Social Reforms (YOHESOR), was designed for building a corrupt-free generation through education, value re-orientation, skills training and awareness creation in primary and secondary schools across the 36 states of the federation and Abuja.
The president expressed the believe that ending corruption would lead to a new Nigeria.
He said: “I stand to be corrected but I strongly think that if we get it right with corruption, we almost will get it right with the new Nigeria of our desire.
“In the last one year of this administration, we have made relentless efforts to make our position clear that we must all join hands to kill corruption before corruption kills what is left of our dear country.
“I have no doubt in my mind that the vices associated with corrupt practices, such as budget padding, miracle exam centres, sorting of lecturers, contract inflation, looting of public funds and bribery of public officials, constitute more than half of the real problem of this nation."
He urged Nigerians with genuine love and passion for the country to support this government in its drive to change the orientation of Nigerians, particularly the children about corruption and its attendant social vices.
Recall earlier today a court ordered former Petroleum Minister Diezani to forfeit #34bn to the FG.
